In May, an asylum seeker from Mexico left her Santa Rosa home before sunrise with her three children to attend her U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-in. For days, the single mom hadn’t been able to sleep, certain she’d be arrested. @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

The Bay Area Habeas Network, launched May 1, aims to file a habeas corpus petition for every person illegally detained by ICE in the Bay Area.

Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano, who died in ICE custody in March, died of COVID pneumonia, an autopsy I obtained shows. ICE's official report shows no indication he was tested or treated for COVID in detention. See more details in our database. @stjbs.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

I spoke to three people who were targeted by this sophistcated new scam that cost one of them almost half a million dollars. Her life savings. These fraudsters impersonated the San Francisco consul general and Indian authorities. Read more: @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

Deaths in ICE detention have surged. @sfchronicle.com is tracking them here. The database is the foundation of a Chronicle investigation by @stjbs.bsky.social and myself about medical delays, missed and misdiagnoses and other failures that drove record deaths. www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

Indian Americans are the fastest growing group in the Bay Area and helped drive Silicon Valley’s growth. But their trajectory is now at risk. The first in our five-part series “The Indian Bay” published today. Read it at @sfchronicle.com: www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

Congratulations to @stjbs.bsky.social and @kolyncheang.bsky.social of @sfchronicle.com on winning the May Sidney Award for their devastating exposé of deaths in ICE custody from medical neglect.

🧵Missed diagnoses, delayed treatment and poor medical care are driving record deaths in ICE custody. @kolyncheang.bsky.social and I spent months investigating the deaths of ICE detainees across the US. Over and over again, we found lapses in treatment that proved fatal.

Important investigation into failures with ICE medial care that have likely caused multiple deaths. I'll note that these failures are common in the criminal justice system, and are just as deadly there, which is one reason why a solution is to heavily restrict the use of immigration detention.

My colleague @stjbs.bsky.social and I spent months working on this new @sfchronicle.com investigation into each of the 48 deaths in ICE custody since the start of 2025. Powerful work as well by our data viz colleague Nami Sumida and @santiagomejia.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...
